Sure, then in 2 years I get an easy-to-miss email that says they’re changing the terms and the past 5 years of data will be opened for corporate access and use at its discretion without the requirement to inform you.

I’ve seen this episode before. Much like Hollywood, it’s the same story over and over and the public is getting tired of it.

“please insert a corporate middleman with no oversight into your somewhat private conversation”

Lots of people here say Proton, but I’d also consider selfhosting my email on either a home server or the cloud, whichever meets my criteria for redundancy to stay online vs cost

The photos I take on my cellphone are instantly catalogued, scanned for metadata, and synchronized with my gallery. The app then gives me fun photo displays and reminders of my past daily.

I do nothing but take photos and pay a small fee.

I’m particulay looking for.the functionality of Google Photos, not just a cloud storage solution but a photo catalogue integrated with my camera among other things. Does Proton offer this?

I wonder if this correlates with my recent desires to de-Google my life. I’m steadily growing less happy about daily using their services and them holding all my info.

I’m open to suggestions for cloud photo storage/management on par with Google Photos if anyone has some. I’m looking into FOSS but would rather pay for the service in the long run. These days I’m too busy to learn to be an effective server admin and keep up with the technology.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any of the idiots that buy these idiotic things.

Hey if they want to set that precedent, so be it.

If you haven’t started, eat a Mediterranean diet

This is a moment in history like Ford releasing the Model T. The horseshoe industry took a massive hit, as did anything related to horse transportation. The winners saw it happening and pivoted themselves.

Right now, one person with AI that makes prompts replaces an art department. Gig work will dry up as many people learn to ask ChatGPT to write their excel macros, instead of hiring it out. Audio engineers can be replaced with one person doing QA in some finished products.
